340's and Alison Krauss & Union Station Live

[tjennings]

I have a couple of weeks until my front three 340's arrive... but I was just listening to the AKUS Live CD (I also have the DVD-V concert) and was wondering if anyone has listened to AKUS LIVE on the 340m's. Her voice is so pure, so crystal clear, that I was actually WINCING with my current speakers when she would really belt it out (such as on the BROADWAY and GHOST IN THIS HOUSE tracks). I'm hoping with the 340's I don't lose any of the detail I have now, but that I can actually listen to her gorgeous voice without bleeding from the ears.

I have this same problem with the DVD-A of Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - the chorus parts of just about every song is just so, well, in-your-face and piercing, that I can barely stand listening to it. I'm hoping that settles down a bit on the 340s too.
